Quick-stop firearm mounted ammunition carrier

ABSTRACT

This invention, a stock mounted ammunition holder, when used by hunters and law enforcement is designed to address the problem of accidental loss of ammunition from the carrier.  
     The problem is that past designs did not have a provision to prevent the rim of the ammunition from moving up, down or side ways. This ammunition holder is deigned to significantly lessen the possibly of loss of ammo.

SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention is an ammunition holder that is mounted to the side of a rifle or a shotgun, that will hold the ammo in a secure manner and greatly lessen the possibly of accidental loss of ammo from the carrier. When used by hunters and law enforcement personal it will provide a safer method of carrying additional ammo.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In the past ammo carriers have been made of plastic or elastic and have no provision to stop the shell from moving up or down under stress of movement. In addition, over time plastic and elastic have allowed the shells to fall free of the carrier and become lost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0003] This device consists of steel (or like material) clips held to a mounting plate. The clips are formed to hold the shells on their sides so that they can not move from side to side. The Mounting plate is formed so that its top (of the plate) comes over the top of the shells rim to trap the rim of the shell between the clips below and the lip above it. The mounting plate with clips is to be mounted onto a rifle or shotgun stock or action to hold ammunition to the firearm. Once the ammo is placed into the holder it can not move up, down or sideways. The shells can only be removed by forcing them away from the carrier in an out and away motion.

1.) What I claim is that this invention will provide hunters and law enforcement personal with a more secular method of carrying extra ammo. This design will stop the ammo from moving up, down or sideways by the use of a carrier design that traps the rim of the shell and prevents the shells movement and possible loss by falling free from the carrier.
